Museums

Home to the first van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum (Self-Portrait, 1887) and to Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals (1932-33), the Detroit Institute of Arts is known for its quality, range, and depth of collection. The DIA is a gathering place, and strives to create experiences that help each visitor find personal meaning with the art, both individually and with each other. With an expansive collection of over 65,000 works, the DIA has something for everyone. Share your moments with #DIADetroit. Using a visitor-centered approach to add context to art, the DIA is not just for scholars and art aficionados. Whether a painting brings out a smile or chuckle, or a sculpture leads to deep contemplation, the DIA has a passion for connection through its collection. It takes humans to truly bring art to life. Each team member—from environmental services to accounting and curatorial—brings unique skills that directly contribute to the DIA’s mission. Team members are the heart of the DIA and are a vital role in the museum’s goal to be one of the world’s most visitor-friendly museums. Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne county residents enjoy free general admission.
